According to Xinhua News Agency, when planning business travel, many companies' health plans include vaccination and information on avoiding eating diseases. But some of the more common threats to physical and mental health are often overlooked, such as stress, sleep disorders, unhealthy diets, and lack of exercise. They are all common side effects of business trips. In the long run, these problems will increase the risk of a pregnant person suffering from a chronic disease.
The National newspaper of Spain reported that the above is the conclusion of a study conducted by Andrew Lendl, associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Columbia's Melman School of Public Health, on the relationship between business and mental health. He and his colleagues collected a number of anonymous medical registration data from a consulting firm.
The research team led by Lendl compares people who stay up to 6 nights a month and compares with people who stay 14 nights or more. The latter has a higher body mass index score and is more prone to anxiety, depression and alcohol dependence. In addition, they have fewer fitness activities and it is more difficult to fall asleep. People who stay 21 nights or more on a business trip each month are 92% more likely to develop obesity and high blood pressure than others.
The report said that there are other studies supporting the above results. A study of World Bank employee insurance claims shows that frequent travellers are more likely to claim chronic diseases such as mild illness and asthma and back problems. But more common claims are related to symptoms caused by stress. Another World Bank study found that nearly 75% of employees reported high-pressure or extremely high-pressure psychological conditions associated with business travel.
Experts suggest that the company's travel date should be more flexible, to develop a more specific health plan for employees, so that employees on business trips are aware of the risks of being in another city, hotel accommodation, eating too fast and lack of sleep. The company also needs to consider the flight time and cannot ignore the time difference. In addition, resting on the plane instead of working is more beneficial to the health of the staff.
According to the report, maintaining a healthy diet may be the most complicated task for people on business trips. A number of studies have shown that food in restaurants has more calories and fat than home-cooked foods, and fewer fibers. In addition, stress can also influence and hinder travellers from choosing healthy foods because stress often makes them want to eat more calories.
